Am so sorry he is having a hard time tweetiepiesmom, he is always in my thoughts as my little Marley had the same thing. Agree Hezz they do look like flax seeds to me too. As mona has said, take comfort in you are doing everything you can for the little guy, you are a good budgie mom x

Good morning Tweetie Pie I have seen similar seeds on the base of Willow's cage tweetiepiesmom, could they maybe be hulled canary seeds? Just a thought as they look closer to the shape of a canary seed than the linseeds in our seed mix. In a way it's good that you know that they are seeds rather than anything more sinister.

There's not much consistency in when he vomits and when he's ok. Yesterday he vomited vernight and in the afternoon. Last night and today he's been ok. I'll post what the vet says.

I'm so sorry Tweetie Pie is still vomiting. You are doing a great job looking after him and you must be so worried so I understand that it's stressful for you writing about him. Like others have said, I worry about you, Tweetie Pie and Buddy too.
I hope you get good news from the vet tomorrow and that she can't detect any AGY.

Hang in there tweetiepiesmom. It’s always so hard to wait for the next vet appointment when your baby is sick 😔 I hope it was a productive visit today! ❤️

Our appointment is early this afternoon. Tweetie Pie had a good day yesterday and didn't vomit once and he didn't vomit overnight either. Its so hard to know what's the best thing to do for him. I think he would do better if I put them back together because both of them are worrying about being apart. Also Buddy eats his fresh sprouts and his pellets. Buddy will teach Tweetie Pie to eat those which the vet says is important for his long term health. Right now Tweetie Pie only eats his seeds and grass/herbs. The vet says he needs to have only 25% of his diet as seeds. I am going to ask her about putting them back together. Buddy has already been exposed because they were together when Tweetie Pie first was sick and I was trying to decide if he was sick or just normal male behavior. Most of the time he doesn't really vomit - seeds slip out his beak and he may shake them off. He was doing that when they were together and I saw Buddy go over and eat a couple from Tweetie Pie. Buddy must have a strong immune system since he has not gotten sick. I wonder if anyone else has had a budgie with AGY living with another budgie?

I hope the vet visit goes well and that they say it's ok for Tweetie pie and Buddy to be back together.
When we were discussing Casper with the vet he said he saw birds that live in a flock and only one would have AGY symptoms. Whether that is what they would recommend though I guess the vet will advise you on.
Fingers crossed. Will be thinking of you all. x

We are back from the vet. (in the car on our way) He has not lost any weight, still 28 grams. He was very energetic today which the vet liked although when called me with the report, she said he was mad at her. She said he did look better but still has more moisture in his mouth than he should have. She said to continue his medicine for another month but put it on his favorite treat or greens in his cage. She said that I can put him back with Buddy and if Buddy eats some of the medicine it will be ok. Since its late afternoon, I'll wait until tomorrow to put them together. Since we are having low humidity now, she recommended putting a bowl of water near their cage, like Hezz always suggests.

What a relief they can be together again! That seems odd about the meds, but I suppose she isn’t expecting Buddy to want to eat it xD But do you think Tweetie Pie will take his meds if placed on food - Didn’t you try that at first?
